Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for
July.

The Constitution of the Uniled
States is just about a century old:
and it IS certainly seasonable to tell
US who were the men who made it,
and how it was made. All this can
be read in the interesting pages Of
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for
July. A chatty talk on "Music," by
Ausburn Towner; ancient Greeks
in modern Cyprus by A. L. Rawson
a sketch Of Studio Life; "Cave
Homes and Sbrines"; "a Strange
Charity" very interesting account

ject, Eels"; and a truly Summer one
on Flowers and Insects; with very
clever stories Ike Her King" by
Nora Marble; "a Fourth Story At
fair" by Elizabeth Bigelow; "The
Lakewood Mystery" form q most
charming collection of light reading
matter that will be especially priced
in the warm days that are on US.
The variety is wonderful, and the
whole number attractive.

The Eclectic tor July

Has fine steel engraving as
frontispiece, being The beginning Of a
new volume, the 18th. 1T is almost
superfuous to enlarge on the general
excellencies of this publication, con-
tanning, as it does, month by month,
the choicest selection from the
foreign, specially the English, maya.
zines and reviews. In spite OF the
great competition at home in maga-
zines, the Eclectic holds its place.
The present number sustains the
reputation of the magazine. Among
the contributors are Richard Jefe-
ries, Walter Pater, George J. Ro-
names, Sir Francis Hastings Doyle,
Albert Shaw, ". H. Mallock, Lord
Byron "a hitherto unpublished fFag'
ment,) Lord Brabazon, and Sir Will
liam Wilson Hunter, X. c. S. |.
Articles of special interest are Ma
ture and Books" THE American
State and the American Man." Men
tai Differences between Men and
Women" Infant Railroads. "An
Apology for Armies," and "Wealth
and the Working Glasses" by ". II.
Mallock, q continuation from the
May number. Mr.. Romanes has
most searching and subtitle study OF
men and women and their differences,
which will provoke great interest and
sharp controversy in these days Of
so.called emancipated womanhood.
A very entertaining paper is that by
a French critic, Francis Paul, on the
great French idol, Victor Hugo. In
this NJ. Paul makes a sharp attack
on the extravagant claims made for
Victor Hugo. The whole number is
of marked interest.

The proprietor has for many years
visited the leading Nurseries North and
West, and corresponded with those OF
foreign countries, gathering every fruit
that was calculated to suit the South,
both native and foreign. The reputa-
ton of Pomona Hill Nurseries is such
that many agents going out from Green's

to leave the impression that they are
representing these nurseries. Why 10
they DO it: Let the public answer.

Very Slow Poison.
GyicStOn Nc,cs.

Rife whiskey kills quick according
to the prohibition papers; but New
England rum is very slow poison.
An exchange says:
The oldest man in New England
is Charley Heal, Of Searsmont, Me.
who is lO7 years old. 1t is recorded
that lie has chewed tobacco for 100
years and drank New England rum
for nearly as long time; that he
voted for Jefferson the first time lie
was a presidential candidate, and has
been a Democrat from that day to
this"

TEACHERS DEPARTMENT.
ARTHUR KIBLER, EDITOR.
As Is the Teacher, So Should be the Pay

As is the Teacher, So Should be the Pay.
Of the tLree thousand eight hun
dred teachers in this State now, how
many are prepared to command, that
is, to earn, $50 month if it were
offered to morrow? We know that
many teachers do not earn the money
they now receive. Some Of our "or-
thy contemporaries have, with the
kindliest feelings, we trust, very just
" accused as of faroring high sal
aries" We do favor high salaries,
but we favor high teaching along
with them; pay the teacher what he
can earn. If he is thoroughly
trained professional teacher, $50 q
month is too little for him, and there
is little danger of paying too mucn;
but if he is 8 mere school keeper,
such as we saw recently in a rural
district, who keeps his house, his
desk, and himself in continual dis
order and confusion; whose personal
appearance suggests nothing akin 70
refinement or culture; who, while
hearing recitations, sits reared back
in q chair with his feet on desk and
his hands clasped above his head
and expectorates questions at the
children and tobacco juice at the
stove between deep drawn, sonorous
yawns, the Abbcville Press and BGra-
ner's IS month schedule might be
divided by four or five, and he would
still get more money than he earns.
The influence of associating with
such person is deadening and be-
npmbing to all the finer feelings and
sensibilities of the child; for
ssVice is . monster OF SO frightful mlen,
That tc be hated needs to be seen;
But seen too oft, familiar to her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace >
The school room is evidently no
place for a bupgler and botch; but
it is singular fact that many man
who will carry a plowpoint five miles
past poor workman to place 1t IN
the hands of one skilled in sharpen
ing such instruments, in order that
it may guide itself, will entFust the
mental plowpoint Of his child to the
hands Of those unskilled, who can
only hammer and batter and twist it
out of shape and ruin it for both time
and eternity.-Cuolina Teacher.
The Teacberis is nearly right: Skilled
and trained men and women are what
we need, and when the people Of the
couatry see that these are at hand
the salaries are sure to rise.

Teachers Association.

The Teacher's Association met on
last Saturday at the usual place.
The meeting was not as well attend
ed as it should have been, but this is
nothing unusual. Only two out OF
four Of the lecturers were present.
Mr.. Thos. Moorman was to have lee
tured on the Common School Sys-
tenn but owing to the small number
of teachers present, it was thought
best to postpone the discussion OF
this subject until some future meet
ing, as it is necessary that all the
teachers should know as much as
possible about the system under
which they are working. Miss Fan
ME Wardlaw, who was to read
paper, was unable on account OF
sickness to be present. but in order
that the Association might not be
disappointed, had her lecture read by
Mr.. Moorman. Her subject being
Reading" she advocated the "Word
Method" as best suited for the be-
ginner. Be tier progress, it wa
claimed, can be made by this method
than by any other. Most Of the
teachers were Of the same opinion as
Miss Wardlaw, although there were
q few who seemed in favor Of the old
way of teaching the child to read.
DR.. Holland opened the subject:
Moral Suasion VS.. Physical Force.
In order that good discipline and
manly obedience may be had be urged
that the teacher do anot make too
much display of bis authority, but
simply exercise it in as quit way as
possible. He also said that the
teacher, in order to command respect,
should know thoroughly what he
teaches. It was evident during the
discussion that the old fashioned, ty-
ranical way Of governing is fast
losing its place in the sehoo! room.
Unmanly, uncalled for, inhuman,
beastly treatment Of scholars is soon
to be known only Sin song" We
would urge that teachers remember
two things insisted upon by DR.. Hol-
land; don't make TOO much display
of authority, know what you attempt
to teach.
Teachers. was there anything un-
usual that kept you away from the
association? Was there something
very important for you to attend to?
Did you forget the day? We don't
believe, that for some Of you at least,
there was any excuse. we hhO"
that you are deeply interested in the
work of the association, but some
times it does seem that you are terri
bly, thoughtless. Something was pro-
posed on Saturday with which the
teachers were well pleased. 1t was
suggested by DR.. Holland. We don't
propose to tell you rhafs up, how
ever, but if you will come to the
meeting at Prosperity on the first
Saturday in September, you may
learn something new. ::

Our Thanks.

For gainful hours of pain and loss,
For strength that grew beneath the cross,
For gold refined and freed from dross,
We thank Thee, Lord.
For cheerful ease and calm content,
For hours in gentle gladuess spent,
SO sweet we asked not how they went
We thank thee, Lord.
For hours o'erlived with bated breath;
For victory, in the fight with death;
For answered prayers that strengthened
faith,
We thank thee, Lord.
For ties Thou hast not torn apart;
For glimpses Of Thee as Thou art;
For the Upright weather of our heart"
We thank thee, Lord.
And, oh, for mercies numberless-
For succor in our SOULS distress,
n perils we but dimly guess,
We thank Thee, Lord.
We have 40 words and little wit
20 frame such thanks as may befit
Thy grace and yet-thou knowest it
We thank Thee, Lord.
AS children, sometime suddenly.
Run, grateful, to q fathers knee
We dimly feel our debt to Thee,
And thank Thee, Lord.

HOME FOLKS.
Living And Dying.

Finding to-day hard task done
Finding a moral conflict won;
An answering glow the setting sun
Ones warm heart giving
Companionship of those we prize,
Or cen one glance of love-lit eyes
And this Is living!
Stealing away an unshared grief,
While naught but weeds compose the
sheaf,
Unsightly blots upon the leaf
Our care belying;
The sky o'ercast when day begins,
Loving the one another wins
All this is dying!
But death itself to life must yield,
And 10! Heavens portals are re vealed;
The Kings great register unsealed-
Oh, Joy supernal!
Shows us as what we strove to be,
And love has turned for us the key
To life eternal!

Hints for the Eyes.

Keep a shade on your lamp Or
gas burner.
Avoid all sudden changes be-
tween light and darkness.
Never begin to read, write or
sew for several minutes after COM
ling from darkness to bright
light.
Never read by twilight, moon
light, or on cloudy days.
Never read or sew directly in
front of the light, window or door.
1t is best to let the light fall
from above, obliquely, over the
left shoulder.
Never sleep so that, on first
awakening, the eyes shall open on
the light of window.
Do not use the eyesight by light
SO scant that it requires an effort
10 discriminate.
The moment you are instinct
lively prompted to rub your eyes,
that moment stop using them.
If the eyelids are glued together
on waking up, do not forcibly open
them, but apply saliva with the
finger it is the speediest dilut ant
in the world then wash your eyes
and face in warm water.

A New Coffee.

The discovery Of new variety
of coffee plant in West Africa is re-
ported. The berry greatly resem-
bIes that of Arabia in appearance
and favor, but grows on a rapidly
developing and very productive
tree, nearly seven feet high, in
stead of on shrub. Experiments
are to be made at once on the cul-
tivation of this coffee tree in favor
able localities.

Moral SuasiOn With SALOON
Keepers.

l believe this: That you might
as well try to storm Gibraltar with
a pop-gun, dam Niagara with bum
die of straw, or do any other i'm
possible thing, as to move man
by moral suasion who has no NOR
al principle. Go to these men
(the liquor sellers) with moral sua
sion, and they will bow and smile
and assent to all you say, and
when your back is turned cry out,
what a contemplate pack of fools
these men are !"-John. B. Cough.

A striking illustration of the
fact that the least is known about
the most common things, is shown
by some recent surveys of the Pyr-
ennees Mountains. A large lake,
hitherto unknown, and the largest
among these mountains, has been
discovered on their Northern
slope, lying in gap between two
chains of peaks, themselves sup
posed heretofore to be one and the
same. Also on the south and
southeast sides, sevsral ranges,
nearly ten thousand feet high,
we're described, none of which had
ever been noted on any geographic
cal map of this region.
